The Esteio site of Brenntag Brazil was given the city’s “Ecological Seal Award” in July 2018 for its waste separation and recycling programme, which it implemented together with the local municipality.
To begin with, Brenntag HSE managers trained the employees on how to separate waste correctly, and a corresponding disposal system was put in place at the site. The waste collected and separated is sent to a local recycling cooperative which works to increase environmental awareness among the population and generates funding for social projects by reusing the waste.
